Chrysanthemums are totally invaluable for starting to flower when everything else is going over. They make fantastic cut flowers too, with a vase life of three weeks. Chrysanthemum petals are edible. We use them at Perch Hill scattered onto salads. If brewed into tea, they have a flavour similar to chamomile. Our range of chrysanthemum plants includes both indoor and outdoor varieties. Outdoor chrysanthemums are happiest grown in full sun and shelter, whilst indoor varieties can be grown in the garden but will need to be brought into a greenhouse, conservatory or sunny porch when the weather gets cold. Choose from individual varieties in a range of colours or try one of our chrysanthemum collections for extra impact.
